Adult Stem Cell Therapies Are the Future, Scientist Says Adult stem cells, and not embryonic stem cells, are what all scientists in this field of research should be working on, says Dr. Peter Hollands. A renowned clinical scientist and researcher at the University of Westminster, London, Hollands took part in the first Vatican-sponsored conference to […]
The Future Of Ethical Stem Cells. For years, ethical issues hampered progress in stem cell research. Now, experts believe that developments in reprogrammed ‘iPS’ cells will truly revolutionise the treatment of life-threatening illnesses. It is unclear at exactly what point the phrase “stem cell” entered the vernacular, one of very few scientific terms that achieve […]
